Media notes
A quite distant (not great quality) photo (approx. 1/2 mile out) but does show black underwing with white trailing edge and a bit of black coloration in the area of the head.
Observation details
Both adult birds, one in basic and the other in alternate plumage. All black underwings except for a white (as well as rounded) tip and trailing edge. Alternate bird had black hood. Basic bird had a bit of black on the head, more of a blur. It was quite distant from us. Both were also noticeably smaller than the many Bonaparte's Gulls they were feeding with.
